Didn't have time to print the Bob's Card Model today, so I played around some more with the FG model. It occurred to me that at 1/144 scale that cardstock might be too stiff and inflexible for a model with a lot of curves like the DC-3.
Would it make sense to try using normal copy paper? Any thoughts about how I might give the model some support with copy paper?
It depends what your "normal" copy paper is. Many use a 20lb all-purpose paper which would be too light in my opinion. If I get something printed at Staples their normal paper is a high quality 28 lb paper which might work for modeling. I've had excellent results with a 32lb cardstock I bought at Staples. It's a nice in-between weight for very small models/parts. I'd recommend that as a minimum. I used to use 67lb for everything, then changed to 110lb for sturdiness and durability, employing lighter weights for small parts and details.
